Boiling point thoughts

Archived from groups: comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.action,comp.sys.ibm.pc.games.rpg (More info?)

From reading the reviews - this game reminds me of a couple of other
Euro titles that were buggy on release - but after patched were great
games:
Hidden & Dangerous
and
Panzer Elite


I'll probably get it, though any news from the developer about patches
would help a buying decision.

This is the way I like rpgs - first person with 3rd person view in a
big 3D world. Another game this reminds me of is GothicII.

cheers

Tanks for info John:
I find it impossible to understand how the games release could get itself in
such a silly situation....
the README in the intial EUR. release lists many of the bugs....they knew
re: the problems before it was put out.....
Even if it is sorted bug-free-perfect they have still walked themselfs into
widespead bad reviews which a game can never completly get over ....
Very odd....puzzeled Mouse

It isn't an European problem, but one of the game industry of these days. I
guess the pressure to get games on the shelves is just too high. It's
short-sighted, but for some reason the pointy hairs don't realise that.

I've heard rumours about a Canada-US relations meeting - the first half
stated that they didn't expcet Bush to be leading the conversaion, with the
expectation that Condoleezza Rice and other aids would do the talking. The
other half of these rumours indicated that these expectations were wrong.

Of course, it doesn't change the fact that his reputation seems to be on
par with Dan Quayle.

That's not exactly a good site - while there might be funny incidents
there, most of them give too much room for plausable deniability. (e.g.
while being unfamiliar with the voting rights act is suprising, it could be
that he hasn't studied the law in depth.)

Basically, the only thing funny is having an interview outside in 100
degree temperature, a.k.a. the boiling boint of water.

Sorry, the US still uses the good old Fahrenheit scale; no doubt an
unknown scale of units to a Frenchman like yourself, since it was
invented by a German.

FYI to convert from Fahrenheit to Centigrade ( sorry, I mean Celsius )

C= (F-32)*5/9

So 100 degrees F is 37.77777...... degrees C.

End of physics lesson....

I know that - just making an old joke, hence the smily.

Other conversion factors are here:
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fahrenheit

Even after reading the page, I still don't know how Fahrenheit was
calibrated. It seems to have a few conflicting theories, including a few
that haven't been listed on the page (e.g. While 0 was water dissolved in
ice, 100 was meant to represent the temperature of the human body, where
the person being measured had a slight fever at the time.)

Seems like this thread now need an [OT] flag - but some Google Groups
poster would simply blow it up without knowing.
